I was born in Manado, North Celebes, Indonesia in 1983. Graduate from De La Salle University of manado majoring Information Technology Engineering (2001/2005).
During my works (current formal job) in an one of National Energy Corp in Papua island, i discovered my first passion – Traveling. After a few years the second passion – Photography, followed the first one. Up until now I have spent most of my free time traveling around Nusantara (Indonesia) especially Papua island.
I specialize in landscape, Waterscape, and Nature photography and prefer the Hot beauty and wilderness of Hinterlands Papua. I started with Prosumer cameras, nowadays I continue with Digital SLR cameras and using new techniques giving more possibilities in landscape photography (HDR, etc).
I exhibit my photographs in Local and International online media :
- Deviant Art (International)
- Photo.Net (International)
- BetterPhoto.Com (International)
- Fotografer.Net (South East Asia)
- AyoFoto.Com (Indonesia)
Join some Photography Community (LOOR Papua Photographer Community, etc).
I am still learning, always learn new technical concepts for describe all in my imagination, and having a great time in this journey, enjoying both of my job & hobby. If you interested with my photos or other commnet and question please email me at: michael_aleng@yahoo.com.
